About this home

Tucked away down a picturesque private lane off of King Muir Road sits this charming historic property. Built in 1902 as the original "Chauffeur's Quarters" of The Westmoreland Farm Estate of A.B. Dick, this home has been expanded and updated to perfection. The cottage has beautiful views throughout of the gorgeous .92 acre grounds with perennial gardens, fountain, trellises, brick patio and walkways. Numerous improvements including stunning gourmet white kitchen (2016) with new Craft Maid cabinets, quartz countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances, including Wolfe ovens and cooktop, Bosche dishwasher, SubZero refrigerator/freezer and Uline wine refrigerator. Kitchen opens to cozy and newly remodeled family room with fireplace flanked by custom bookshelves, built-in window bench, and sliders to outdoor bluestone patio. French doors lead to beautifully updated formal dining room with custom millwork. Gracious-sized formal living room with crown moldings and two expansive windows overlooking professionally landscaped property. First floor bedroom with full updated bath currently used as an office. Three bedrooms up, including lovely primary suite with new hardwood floors, private luxurious bath, 2 walk-in closets, and private balcony. Updated hall bath for the two family bedrooms. Exceptional opportunity to own a piece of Lake Forest history. Preservation Foundation award-winner. You will never want to leave! (Adjacent property provides opportunity for garage and storage, and is currently on the market.)
